Camera Recommedations

wyz135 · 06-28-2008, 04:29 AM

I was slowly getting popular among the school with my personal website. All those videos were recorded with either my handphone, Nokia N73, which the quality sucked or my friend's digital camera. So I was thinking to get my own digital camera. So any reommendations? I don't have much money with me now, I think I can squeeze out $100, just need a decent camera which can record at decent quality and good sound quality most importantly. Any ideas guys?? I can't afford the camcorder, it's way too expensive.

Good f'n luck, dude. My Sony DSCW55 can't make a "quality" video for shit.

Lol aliquidparadigm

Dang I am not even sure you can get a good quality camera for that much.

what you think of this cameras:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16830120257
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16830241050

All recording resolution at 640 X 480 @ 30 FPS, sounds ok. Most importantly is the sound quality, don't expect me to record a video review where you can't even hear it clearly.....

Anyway thanks guys

Be careful with those cameras... every single one of them will have high resolution with low quality.

Here's what you can expect in terms of video quality and sound quality...

Oh, but, uh, worse, since my camera is higher quality than the two you've posted. Yeah, like I said, video = bad. Outdoor video is not quite as bad.

Im thinking you're SOL on this one. Cameras are expensive. They are almost like cars, where there are a number of reasonably priced ones out there, but the only ones that are actually good are ridiculously priced.

I've decided to extend my budget a little more, what you all think of these cameras??
